Older women and 'frailty': Aged, gendered and embodied resistance

Article Abstract:

Three separate studies on resistance reveal how older women exercise resistance in complex ways, both consciously subverting and co-opting the notion of 'frailty' on an individual and collective level. Resistance in older women is interconnected between age, gender and the body and powerful concepts such as 'frailty' have both physical realities and social constructed elements.
